nicky6 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 On sundays in NJ at 11pm theres a show called "back to the 80's" and the dj is called matt doggie dog, hes awesome and he plays anything from the 80's and hes awesome with request unlike a lot of DJS, he will play your song right away or a few songs in. I requested "between the wheels" and he played it. 2 songs in.. Now hopefully others listening I turned on to some rush they never heard before. He turned me onto a lot of 80's I never knew existed. For example, if someone requests a yes song from the 80's it isn't always owner of a lonely heart, it will be something else that either was a obscure song from one of their albums that's a good song but no one knows.. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so cool! Well done! I would have picked a song like Presto or Marathon myself, but you picked a great one haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 A great Yes track from the 80's is Changes. It's more of a Trevor Rabin song than a Yes song (his vocals and mostly his music) but it rocks hard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If I heard Between the Wheels on commercial radio, I'd poop Twinkies! (And that's a good thing). We had an FM radio station in the high school I attended- I got involved in it early, and I was the music director by the time of my senior year- I was on-air three or four days a week. And I'd play deep cuts like that all over the place. But that was a bit different...we didn't have set playlists, and the FCC didn't care too much what we did (but the school did, haha)... Anyway, I'm babbling, but the point is that I could and did play a lot of things that most people didn't know...just because I could. But it's even more awesome to hear deep cuts like that on traditional commercial radio like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relayer2112 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Let's just say that the KGB most likely knocked on that DJs door later in the evening and he'll never be heard from again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John V Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I have three choices for terrestrial radio.1) Classic Rock2) New Rock (Just newer stuff, mostly metal)3) NPR College style station. I always listen to #2 as they play better music, but I have never heard one Rush song on that station. I am thinking I should write or call them and ask "WHY".There are many Rush songs that would go over well on that station! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I only ever hear 5 Rush songs on the radio Tom SawyeeFreewillLimelightTSORSubdivisions Thats totally better than nothing. I would rather hear those 5 Rush songs than listen to anything by Journey or Bad Company again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky6 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) before you tube and the internet. I would hear deep cuts from bands like van halen ect. and go out and have to research and find out what album those songs were from, and boom, I would buy the cd. this helped record sales i'am sure..

MeanMeanPride Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Reminds me of the other day at the gym. My wife heard it first, and immediately alerted me that they were playing Lakeside Park. Over the main speaker at a 24 Hour Fitness! Cool moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Nice! If that's WDHA, I once got Natural Science played on my birthday there about 25 years ago. I've heard Between The Wheels on commercial radio but that was about 20 years ago on 104.3 before it became Q104.3. Used to get a bunch of good stuff played on college radio. Don't really listen to the commercial radio much anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Guy Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Love me Between The Wheels. I'd request something absurd and hope it got played, like Face Up or Totem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto11 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 A friend of mine told me that they heard Anagram for mongo on the radio. I don't believe him, but that would seriously be crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madrushian Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 In St. Louis on Kshe 95 every Sunday they play whole albums( every track on album on a show called the seventh day. So over the years they have played various if not all rush albums in their entirety over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I heard 2112 Overture over the public address system at Harvey's Casino, Tahoe. Made me smile. They also played Queen's Get Down Make Love, which blew me away. Never would have guessed that in a million years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John V Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) I emailed the station producer of the "new rock" station and he never replied. f***ing jerk! You gotta hear their morning show. Its more hokey then JohnBoy and Billy. It sucks. Edited July 29, 2015 by John V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Had my mind blown hearing Cygnus X-1 on the radio once. It was album side Thursdays or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
